Nationalist Party of Canada

The Nationalist Party was a reactionary political party in Canada that was founded upon independence in 1867. The party was founded by the most right-wing members of the Conservative Party of Canada, and its supporters mostly consisted of soldiers and aristocrats. The Nationalist Party was strongly supportive of the expansion of Canada's frontiers and the expansion of white settlements westwards, and it opposed granting rights to Native Americans and immigrants. The party was allied with the Conservative Party during general elections.
